Report Details

A cloudy day at the beach.  Not many people in my mile. About a dozen in all.  4 dogs, all off-leash.  I found just a few pieces of marine debris in the wrack, small plastic pieces.  Lots of shell fragments, seaweed, crab molts, and a couple feathers.  It was a pretty low tide, about 0.4 feet.  A half dozen seagulls were working the area where a small creek emptied onto the beach, and some crows on the wet sand swash area eating mole crabs (?)   I enclosed a couple photos of them.  I also put up a photo of a plant that grows right out of the sand, up near the bluffy edges or the beach.  Anyone?
